The journey to advancing your blues playing is to master the fundamentals of blues guitar playing. Everyone wants to skip this step and play catchy licks but that kills their development. There are a whole lot of “5-year beginners” because they need to work on these fundamentals.
There are a few key “tricks” and concepts that, once internalized, make it easier to sound like a pro on stage.
The good news?
I've outlined a roadmap on how to get there in 7 days of intensive guitar work.
When you learn these fundamentals, everything you’ve ever learned about guitar suddenly will make way more sense.
You don't need advanced techniques. You need to get really good at these essential skills of great blues guitar playing!
Buddy Guy never sat around practicing the same lick over and over. He played with other musicians and made sure his licks always worked over the blues progression.
This is what my method teaches. By drilling these skills into your head now, I can make sure you internalize the most important blues tools.
You won’t just know random licks… you’ll know how to take licks and piece them into a blazing blues melody.
If you get on stage without knowing the concepts I want to teach you, you’ll be out of rhythm, won't be able to play over the chord changes, and will forever sound like an amateur.
If you've been stuck and feel like your own playing needs to be taken to the next level, check out what you will learn in this course...
It all starts by mastering these 23 skills. And in 7-Day Blues Guitarist, I will show you exactly what you need to focus on to become a better Blues Rock guitar player.

I'm Jake Andrews, and I've dedicated my life to mastering the blues guitar. Throughout my career, I've had the extraordinary privilege of sharing stages with the true legends of blues—Albert King, B.B. King, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, and Otis Rush. In 2023, I was invited to perform at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival. My unique perspective as a musician and a teacher of 20+ years will jumpstart your blues playing!
There are zero degrees of separation between him and some of the greatest blues players of all time. His teaching style is really encouraging - as he says: “Keep pushing.” In the short time that I’ve been working with Jake, I’ve gone from playing licks and short sections of songs, often with no direction, to playing complete songs, from the likes of Freddie King, Albert King, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. - Steve P.
"Now that is a blues masterclass. That guitar has such a thick but biting tone, love it."
"Best lesson I've seen on YouTube hands down stories and all."
"Jake you are channeling the spirit of the great Albert King with your amazing playing! I predict this video will become the benchmark on how to play this iconic blues tune! Love your stories of your run ins with these blues gods."
"Incredible! Love your style. Most lessons just focus on box 2. You really opened up the whole fretboard with this lesson. Some of these licks are pure killer! Never seen them in any other Albert King lesson. Thank you so much for sharing."
"The definition of a bad ass, swagger, and cool all rolled into one. He is bad and nationwide."
